| Audio Research Ref CD8 vs Esoteric X03SE I ,too, am a big fan of ARC.I own the LS26 and CD3 and am looking at the REF110 or CD8for my next upgrade move.The Esoteric and ARC both make great sounding units and both have different sounds.It depends on what sound you're use to listening to.M... | |

| Harmonic Technology Magic Link 1 I own the 'Magic Link One' XLR IC's.I have owned them since 2003. They seem very musical and will go with just about any system you put together.I was tired of changing cables every time I changed an amp or preamp. So, I bought these and will upgr... | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Hello.Why is the upsampling not as high as the 'Super Nova' by Simaudio or some of the other $6000 up players?Thanks.Sally | |
| CP-700 Classe Pre-Amp I own CAM-200 mono's. You really can't beat Classe.I've enjoyed these mono amps for 4 yrs. now.Thanks for your thoughts. Sally | |
| BAT's VK-D5SE vs Audio Research CD-3 Wow. Your system sounds great.I think I'm sold on the tubed BAT. The guys at BAT are wonderful, I agree. I'm hoping this player will get along with either BAT or Simaudio equipment.I had been thinking about changing my separates to the Simaudio "M... | |
| Levinson 383 integrated vs Moon i-7 integrated I know that Jeff Rowland integrated's are designed differently than most. Rowland is able to get more power out without the units weighing tons. I have a customer that manufactures 200w amps for announcement systems...their units weigh very little... | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Howard.Keep me posted on your findings. The Ayon specs alone are very impressive. It's much cheaper to get a good CD player than new speakers. Ha.I like it that Ayon has a money back guarantee.Sally | |
| Levinson 383 integrated vs Moon i-7 integrated Thanks for all your feedback.Another audiophile friend said to look at the Jeff Rowland integrated "Concerto". It's rated at 250w into 8 ohms.Has anyone ever owned this piece? It only weighs 26 lbs..while other integrateds are at 50-80 lbs.Thanks.... | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Hchilcoat, Congrats on your new CD-1. I've heard it should break-in 200 hrs. The things I've read and heard about the CD-1 and CD-3 ahev been great.Where did you end up buying yours at?Please let me know what you think as I am considering one also... | |
| Intergrateds: BAT's VK-300X /SE or Simaudio i-7 Hi Jeff.I'm thinking that I could get a good tubed CD player to round off any rough edges of the VK-300i. The only thing is the BAT has a 5 year warranty and the Moon i-7 has a 10yr. What are your thoughts?Thanks.Sally | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Greeni,Which player did you end up buying?Thanks.Sally | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Greeni,Did you get a chance to compare the CD-1 to the CD-3?What dealer did you do your listening at?Thanks.Sally | |
| CP-700 Classe Pre-Amp Thanks for the inputs.I,too, have read great reviews on the i-7 and will be buying one in the next month. I have also heard that the Super Nova can sound a bit bright...therefore, I'll probably upgrade my ARC CD-3 or get another killer tube CD pla... | |
| CP-700 Classe Pre-Amp Thanks to both of you.My only problem is that we don't have an ARC dealer in town..only a BAT dealer. The nearest ARC dealer is 4 hrs away. I've heard good things on the BAT VK-31SE and 51.MBL is great gear..but, no dealer is within 10 hrs to take... |
